The most important theme in Of Mice and Men is probably the theme of dreams. Lennie and George have a dream as everyone else does, to own there own land. Dreams are the thing that keeps us living for without dreams this life wouldn't be worth much. They comfort us, inspire us, and make us work as hard as we can to accomplish our personal dreams. Dreams have a way of bothering us until we succeed and for a good reason to. Lennie died thinking and imagining his dream that he constantly worked for. They make us believe we can truely accomplish something if we worked hard enough. The truth about this very impotant theme is that without dreams, believing it is possible to accomplish would be a very hard thing to do.

In Great Expectations Dickens gives his characters many different expectations throughtout the book. Without those expectations, the book would come to a stop. This action is the same in every day life. We are expectated different things from our friends, parents, and teachers, and without those expectations we wouldn't have goals in our lives. Our lives would stop just as the book would. Expectations give us something to do, to look forward to, and to work for. They are the things that create people. The truth about expectations is that they make us work towards something better, something to look forward to just as Pip looked forward and dreamed of a better future.

In the book To Kill a Mocking Bird, the truth is racism. Throughout the world today, there is racism as there was in the book. This is showed the most with the trail of Tom Robinson. “A black man could never be with a white women” even if he felt bad for her. And a white woman could never like a black man. In the books time, things like that just weren’t done. In the world today, we still have similar beliefs, all still leading back to the common problem of racism. Though the thought and act of racism has changed incredibly throughout the years, it still exists in the world today.

In the Lord of the Flies, one of the truths that I found was the truth of the the beast inside ourselves and in the boys on the island. The fear of the island, the excitement, and the adrenaline of the thought of the beast drives the boys into spinning a lie out of control. The boys were convinced the beast was bad and they should hunt it, kill it. The beast made the island interesting and covered up what was really going on. The boys obsession witht he beast turned them into the one thing they were hunting, they kill Simon and attempt to kill Ralph, but end up killing Piggy. The beast took over the boys and destroyed them, turing them savage and crazy. What I got out of the book was that the little lies and the beast inside ourselves can screw with our imagination and make us believe things that we once new as a lie. I learned to not lose yourself in a lie and to not slip itno a lie that I once new to be true. The boys lie was the beast.

Is there truth in mythology?
Yes and no, even though these stories are suppose to be fake, they are based on real events. A myth explains the unexplainable in nature through stories with gods and goddesses. If there was a lighting storm, zeus was angrey, if there was a tidal wave, posieden was upset; they took truthful events thats they didnt get, and made a stroy to it just so they werent clueless. Other than that, they were all lies and made up stories, created with little truth as possible. So yes there is truth in mythology, and no.
